1 Cetuximab (C) is an EGF receptor (EGFR) antibody that causes renal magnesium wasting by competing with EGF for its receptor. Cetuximab (C) is an EGF receptor (EGFR) antibody that causes renal magnesium wasting by competing with EGF for its receptor. Normally, EGF binds its receptor (EGFR) and stimulates magnesium reabsorption in the distal convoluted cell. EGFR activation is associated with magnesium absorption through transient receptor potential M6 (TRPM6) in the apical membrane. NCC, sodium chloride cotransporter. Mark A.
